Core Tip
Core tip: Incidents are self-limiting and do not change therapy. Adverse events (AEs) of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) have attracted attention, whereas incidents are almost ignored. Although incidents do not interfere with procedures and treatment, documenting them might improve procedural quality and prediction of AEs. Our study was designed to evaluate the diagnostic value and safety mainly regarding incidents of EUS-FNA. We found the accuracy of EUS-FNA in differentiating benign and malignant lesions and characterizing pancreatic cystic lesions subtype was high. The AE rate was low, however procedure-related incidents are common and should be paid attention to.
